Boys charged over church murder

William Wickham was attacked near his home in Gosport

Two boys, aged 15 and 16, have been charged with the murder of a 44-year-old man who died in an attack in a Hampshire churchyard.

William Wickham was found dead in the grounds of Holy Trinity Church in Gosport, on Monday night.

Post-mortem tests showed he died as a result of a serious physical assault.

The boys, from Gosport, will appear before Fareham magistrates later. Two men, aged 32 and 47, arrested earlier in the week, have been bailed.
